Announce of the start of the referendum and website update



Hi guys,

Here's the announce that we'll send for the referendum. I'll try to
update the foundation website tomorrow, but if someone can do it before,
then it's better :-)

For explanations on how to update the website:

The GNOME Foundation Membership & Elections Committee is proud to
announce the beginning of the Reducing Board Size Referendum. You can
find some context information about this referendum at
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2005-September/msg00082.html


Who can vote?
-------------

To be able to vote, you need to be a member of the GNOME Foundation and
your membership needs to be valid at least until the end of the
referendum. For example, a member whose membership ends on October 31th
2005 won't be able to vote for the referendum.

If you're not a member of the GNOME Foundation or if you need to renew
your membership, you have to apply at
http://foundation.gnome.org/membership/application.php before October
21th 2005 (23:59 UTC).

If you have applied before this date and if you are accepted, then you
will be able to vote for this referendum.
